MADRID, 31 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Houston Rockets of Spanish power forward Usman Garuba, whom the Texan franchise has renewed until the 2023-24 season, are still in free fall after losing again this morning against the leaders of the West, Phoenix Suns (124-109), and sink into the last place of the same conference.
On Sunday, the Rockets announced that they were exercising their unilateral option to extend the Castilian-Manchego contract until 2024, guaranteeing a third season in the NBA. However, the Spanish international could not celebrate with a victory at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
Houston (1-6), bottom of the West, succumbed precisely to the Conference leaders, the Suns (5-1), who relied on the 30 points of point guard Devin Booker. Garuba spent 12 minutes on the court, in which he scored 2 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, offered 1 assist and recovered a ball.
USMAN GARUBA: 2 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.
